Why it Matters: Hampton led the Chargers in carries, but for the third time in five games, he finished with less than 50 rushing yards. He also continued to play a minimal role in the passing game. His status as the No. 1 option the Chargers' backfield gives him a somewhat safe floor, but with the offense struggling overall, Hampton has a RB2 ceiling for the time being.
